Critical conversations are conversations where something we care about is at stake, action is required of both parties, and there's an impact if nothing changes. Professionally, we encounter salary negotiations, navigate performance conversations, hold people accountable to their words, and resolve conflict. Personally, we engage in critical conversations with our partners, children and elders. All critical conversations require emotional intelligence - the ability to recognize and influence your own and other's emotions. It is the key skill underpinning leadership, collaboration, and creativity. In this class you'll learn cutting-edge methods from the world of embodiment and neuroscience so you can recognize and regulate your own and other people’s emotions using your mind, voice and body.
